Reality Check for the Gearhead in me...

A recommended read from the great David Hobby of strobist.blogspot.com. I was looking for articles about aesthetics of photography when I decided to change channels for a while. I saw this recent post of David Hobby while I was contemplating on a new project and my master plan of killing myself with event shoots, a research paper and procrastinating. It really got me thinking because I was thinking of new things to light since I always do journalistic work with event that I don't seem to have time for conceptual project. In a way, I have an itchy finger when it comes to using my strobe lights for quite some time and just thinking of excuses to use them. I guess, when you strip the art to it's bare essentials, its not about "photography" or light for that matter, its about your message.
